Or is it just talking points Talk to any MTO mechanic and they will tell you what's coming. Bi-annual safeties/emissions testing for all personal vehicles similar to those currently applied to commercial vehicles. It will be all tablet based. The inspections will be done through the vehicles OBD port so it can't be faked. It was supposed to be implemented last year but was postponed due to Covid. https://www.autoserviceworld.com/vehicle-inspections-to-go-digital-in-ontario/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the article the only person quoted is from AARO they sell aftermarket parts and want mandatory certs. At no point has any govenment even brought up the topic, Doug Ford canceled the E-test, if you read the article they are depending on E-test data as proof needed for cert (ripping people off yearly with repairs) - It makes no sense to cancel something just to bring it back.

toslow Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) AARO is a company that sells memberships not parts. I would think they are pushing something like this to drive business to the automotive shops. you can become a member and have benefits of savings on insurance for your shop plus benefits for your employees things like that. in reality this is the same bullshit the liberals was doing and ford done away with. But anything can happen again. I will not be surprised if it does. The ford government is greasy to the core Have to agree with fail on this one. Not going to happen. This is nothing more than a handful of auto shops yapping off trying to figure away to make money I hold a few license for heavy truck and automotive plus heavy equipment, All red seal. so I’m definitely qualified But Does this mean i need to still take my vehicles to a repair facility to have it plugged into by someone else?

1trailmaker Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 BC has something similar to this after 4 years (in 5th year) you must get a safety but that is it apparently...... So many new vehicles on the road today in Ontario, I don't see this as needed or productive. It is the actual reason e-test was canceled over 95% passed. The IDEA that people are driving around without brakes is not really something I ever think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll more and likely be down in Nova Scotia and they have a certification every 2 years. I got stopped driving my brother's truck and the cop said the certification was past due it's date.

You will have a secured link to the MTO. No cheating the system. Like I said there is not one report or comment from any government official. I am sure your buddy has reasons for saying this but is it the same reasons that Biden is making chemical war in Ukraine and Russia is saving us. Why cancel E-test just to bring them back? What new machines are needed to do certs? E-test has nothing to do with safety and most Auto Shop already do certs, there is no NEW equipment needed to check brakes, ball joints, rod, mufflers and tires. It is all visual inspection. All these reports are NOT from Government AS it is now you don't even need E-test lights to be off when selling cars - My buddy owns North Toronto Auctions he says he has heard nothing about it and the MTO is at his shop every weekend auction handing out trip permits. He can now cert cars without an E-test. Where is the official notice for SHOPS like your buddy? it would be all over the internet and Doug would be answering questions.... Have you heard one question asked to Doug about this? Edited April 12, 2022 by 1trailmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 There is/was no way they could eliminate the stickers and all the associated money without implementing something else to make up that shortfall. I'm not 100% sure what that is yet but to think we have all just received a windfall and we will no longer be paying is asinine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get certified every 2 years FALSE Get etest every year FALSE Your sticker is free of fees TRUE Diesel transports large buses rated over 4500kg All Gas vehicles are exempt These heavy polluters need to be in check.

1trailmaker Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Maintain your vehicle Avoid costly repairs and reduce pollution by maintaining your vehicle according to the manufacturer’s recommended service schedules. It is illegal to drive with your malfunction indicator light (the check engine light) on if it is emissions control-related. Have your vehicle looked at by a qualified repair technician as soon as possible if this light comes on. how many are on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toslow Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Your vehicle does not need an emissions test if it is a: light passenger vehicle (motor vehicles with a registered gross weight less than or equal to 4,500 kilograms), including motorcycles and motorhomes heavy non-diesel vehicle (vehicles with a registered gross weight over 4,500 kilograms that do not run on diesel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
